Unlike plastic pet fountains that develop cracks, this 128-oz. drinking fountain is made from durable, nonporous glazed ceramic that mitigates bacteria growth. Ceramic resists bacteria (commonly found on porous plastic surfaces) that cause acne on a pet's mouth and chin. The ceramic drinking fountain is dishwasher-safe, enabling simple, thorough cleaning. The fountain has an integrated pump that draws water from the basin to the top of the dome where it pools and cascades back into the 3" H reservoir. The falling stream attracts pets with the sound of trickling water and entices them to drink more often—a practice that can reduce the pet's risk of kidney disease and urinary tract infection. A charcoal filter removes impurities responsible for unpleasant tastes and odors in water. Filter lasts up to 30 days. Plugs into AC. 14" L x 11 3/4" W x 7 1/4" H. (8 lbs.)

Two degreed adults had a problem assembling the pump per instructions offered and , instead, relied on experience and our own common sense to figure out how to get this fountain to operate. Even so, we had to disassemble several times before realizing lever adjustments to the flow were needed to even get the flow to START. After that, no complaints. The item has a large enough reservoir to allow 2 small dogs enough water to last several days before refill is needed. It is white and porcelean so cleaning is obvious when needed and easy to accomplish. It IS porcelean, though, so it is somewhat heavy. I suggest you get it to flow first on a countertop, then dump the water and move it to the place you desire, and then fill again and plug in as the last step.

I bought 2 and the 1 gal. fountain's pump failed 1st day. Pump is 1.5" x 1.25" and could have been replaced by mail. Co. made me ship the whole fountain back and receive a whole new fountain in return. Cost of shipping? Why not just send a new pump? By snail mail. If the pump fails I don't want to ship this thing. Pets love it though.

This is a great fountain for my dogs- I have 3 small dogs and have been using pet fountains for years, but they were always plastic and got dirty fast. this fountain is larger and easier to clean. We needed a bigger bowl as we just added a Boston Terrier to our family! The dogs love the clean water, and this fountain is bigger then the others and yes it's heavier and bulkier but that is a welcome trade off for the ability to clean it easier and less stains. I was prepared for it to be a little heavier, and it isn't so heavy that is is a pain to use or clean. The line indicating when the water is low is extremely convenient as well so it is sure not to burn the motor out due to not enough water.

The only thing i would recommend to add to it if i were designing it would be an automatic shut off for the pump when the water is to low (my last one had this and the motor never burned out- prior to that i have gone through a lot of these bowls due to motors burning out)

I had one of those plastic recycling water dishes for my cats and dogs but didn't like the scum/bacteria build-up so decided to try this ceramic water fountain when replacing my old fountain. I have only had it for a week so am unable to comment regarding frequency of cleaning because I haven't had to clean it yet, but am used to cleaning them because of my previous fountains so that won't bother me. I must comment on the instructions to put the pump unit together - it took me a couple of attempts because I didn't find the instructions easy to follow. However, once common sense prevailed it was relatively easy and I am quite happy with the end result.

Bought larger size but found it to be too big - takes up entire pet feeding area. Returned for smaller size. Good construction - durable material that so far has not gotten moldy like the store bought plastic models. Is noisy. Can hear the hum of the motor constantly, although it is a low sound. I end up unplugging it when not in use during the day so I don't overheat it, and so I don't have to hear the "white noise."

I cannot I believe I waited this long to purchase this. Best thing I have bought in a long time. I have 6 cats and they love using it and they are all drinking more water! One old boy who is 18 years old loves to hang out next to it!

We have 2 cats and a very large lady, chocolate lab who use the pet fountain. It is wonderful in that I do not have to constantly add water as I had to other fountains in the past. The only thing I can say against this fountain, and the company makes everything right, is the motor only lasted 5 months. It is completely free to return it, without hassle, just the inconvenience of taking it to the UPS Store. They replace the whole unit, not just the motor. I will continue to deal with Hammacher as you cannot go wrong with a lifetime guarantee!! Excellent product.
